.SH DESCRIPTION
|
||
|
|
.PP
|
||
|
|
\fBTcl_Exit\fR is the procedure that is invoked to end a Tcl application.
|
||
|
|
It is invoked by the \fBexit\fR command, as well as anyplace else that
|
||
|
|
terminates the application.
|
||
|
|
No-one should ever invoke the \fBexit\fR procedure directly; always
|
||
|
|
invoke \fBTcl_Exit\fR instead, so that it can invoke exit handlers.
|
||
|
|
.PP
|
||
|
|
\fBTcl_CreateExitHandler\fR arranges for \fIproc\fR to be invoked
|
||
|
|
by \fBTcl_Exit\fR before it terminates the application.
|
||
|
|
This provides a hook for cleanup operations such as flushing buffers
|
||
|
|
and freeing global memory.
|
||
|
|
\fIProc\fR should have arguments and return value that match
|
||
|
|
the type \fBTcl_ExitProc\fR:
|
||
|
|
.CS
|
||
|
|
typedef void Tcl_ExitProc(ClientData \fIclientData\fR);
|
||
|
|
.CE
|
||
|
|
The \fIclientData\fR parameter to \fIproc\fR is a
|
||
|
|
copy of the \fIclientData\fR argument given to
|
||
|
|
\fBTcl_CreateExitHandler\fR when the callback
|
||
|
|
was created. Typically, \fIclientData\fR points to a data
|
||
|
|
structure containing application-specific information about
|
||
|
|
what to do in \fIproc\fR.
|
||
|
|
.PP
|
||
|
|
\fBTcl_DeleteExitHandler\fR may be called to delete a
|
||
|
|
previously-created exit handler. It removes the handler
|
||
|
|
indicated by \fIproc\fR and \fIclientData\fR so that no call
|
||
|
|
to \fIproc\fR will be made. If no such handler exists then
|
||
|
|
\fBTcl_DeleteExitHandler\fR does nothing.
